Well, I can't really argue with that, but please consider that you implemented the C++ compiler against a "known set of features", at least in part, so to speak, whereas DMD grew with the language. An outsider would face the difficulty of building a reliable C++ compiler, vs. a reliable D compiler, _from scratch_.
When I implemented C++ back in 1986 or so, the "gold standard" was Cfront, not the spec. DMC++ definitely did grow with the language, and it was "from scratch".
